What a great tutorial! I used the pen style flux for years but I was always frustrated thinking I was doing something wrong. Until I switched to the thick flux that comes in a syringe. Game changer. Holy cow what a difference it made. I would love to see more videos like this from you!
Hey thank pal. Funny you say that, as I solely used the paste stuff from a tin/jar for over a decade and have found the pen to be a lot better for me. 🤷♂️ Different strokes and all that. 🤣 I appreciate the encouragement, as my assistant isn't helping much in that dept.
Right?! I would have loved to see the rationale and discussion when these were first designed. I wonder if they thought they would just have a repair industry in 25 years considering they weren't really consumer replaceable... 🤷♂️
I have planned a long term project to replace the batteries in all my Gameboy games (plus 2 GBA games) with low profile battery sockets. I have used a device to backup all of the saves, so I've got them on my computer, so I'm not worried about losing saves. All other consoles that use save batteries I just play on newer systems via emulation, GB/GBC/GBA are the only battery using systems where I use the original hardware. Laziness has kept me from starting this though.
I considered doing battery sockets, but when I realized that I would only have to replace the batteries once more before I probably die, it didn't seem worth the trouble. 😆 Talk about lazy. 😝
@@Geeksmithing Yeah I understand that, I definitely won't live longer than another set of batteries. But hey I'm leaving all my stuff to a much younger friend of mine, and it will probably outlast them.
